Couldn't get more Radiant Quest from Preston After the First Step quest is completed.

I'm not sure why I wasn't able to get a more radiant quest from Preston, like 'I got a settlement that needs our help' after quest of the first step and before starting a Taking Independence quest after finishing some radiant quest. The only mod that I have that affect minuteman is WATM, Militarized Minutemen, FCOM 3.1, and MM with uniform add-on patches mod. If there is any solution to that problem, I'm happy to hear it from everyone.
 
Problem? Sounds like you're living the dream. Everybody wants Preston to shut up and stop handing our radiant quests whenever you get within a mile of him. If you ever figure out the cause of your "problem" then please share, there's a lot of people who would like to have this "problem."
 
The only mod that I have that affect minuteman is WATM
This is the only mod listed that I've used. It changes Preston/radio to only give out 1 radiant at a time. If 'pending radiant' one of those quests is triggered by a settler running up to you (like kidnapping) you won't get any quests. You have to go around to each settlement until you find the quest giver. At least they run up to you.

I don't remember the variable but you could try opening WATM in xEdit and change the # quests Preston gives to 2 as a test.

Do any of the other mods listed affect the # quests for Preston? I tried a mod once that was an MCM menu that changed things related to the Minutemen faction (like the # quests so I could turn it up and down at will), but at that time it made me more problems than solved. It might be better now.

I am running into a problem (and I am pretty sure its related to WATM) where if I go to an unclaimed settlement with settlers, ie County Crossing, and have another radiant quest active none of the settlers will give me a quest to have them join me.
I am trying to find what I need to edit in xEdit in order to free up some quest space. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Thanks
 
After doing some digging (and finding a mod that increases the radiant quests) I found that you need to modify the MinutemenMaxActiveRecruitmentQuests entries under Global.Hopefully this info will help others running into the same problems.
 
There's definitely something wonky going on with SS2 and Minuteman quests.

I've also used WATM for a long time without any issues whatsoever. However with SS2 installed, I'm finding Preston just isn't giving quests after the First Step. I got tired of waiting to take Fort Independence as the quest, and just cleared it out. I also have more than the needed 4 aligned settlements to trigger the quest. But the dead mirelurk queen is still there and I can't progress the minutemen story line or subsequent castle-related quests.
 
What other mods do you have installed?
I have WATM & SS2 installed currently and I just finished taking the castle.
Based on what I can see in xEdit SS2 doesn't directly modify the radiant quest scripting.
